Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an industrial truck comprising an arrangement for controlling the position of the forks of the truck.
  • the invention also relates to a method for controlling the position of the forks of the truck.
  • An industrial truck for use in a magazine normally comprise a frame on which is arranged a driver's platform or seat, a propulsion system i.e. a motor, one or more drive wheels and load engagement means, such as forks.
  • the forks are normally arranged on a mast so that the forks can be raised to different levels of the shelves.
  • the truck may also comprise forward support wheels.
  • the driver of the truck receives an order to pick up a load in the magazine and deliver it to a loading bridge from where a lorry is loaded.
  • the truck driver drives the truck to the specific location of the load.
  • the load is normally stored on a pallet on one of the shelves in the magazine.
  • the truck driver raises the forks on the mast of the truck to the position of the shelf where the pallet is located. Thereafter the driver ensures that the forks are level with the pallet.
  • the driver controls by eye sight that the forks are at the correct height and are level with the pallet.
  • the driver moves the truck or the mast forward, whereby the forks are inserted into corresponding grooves in the pallet. The forks are thereafter raised a small distance so that the pallet is lifted above the shelf.
  • the driver then subsequently moves the truck or the mast backwards in order to move the pallet out from the shelf and then lowers the forks to ground level. Finally, the driver tilts the forks upwards. By tilting the forks upwards the weight of load leans on the mast whereby it is secured on the forks and will not move during acceleration or retardation of the truck. The driver then drives the truck to the delivery position.
  • a common problem during goods handling with industrial trucks is that the driver has to manually ensure that the forks are at the right height and in the right angular position when engaging a load on a shelf. This is very time consuming since the driver sometimes needs several tries before the forks are in the right position.
  • Another problem with manual handling of the fork position is that the driver sometimes forgets to tilt the forks upwards prior to transporting the load to the delivery station.
  • Driving a truck with a non-secured load thus with the forks in a horizontal position, is hazardous since the load could slide of the forks if the truck is accelerated or braked hastily. The load it self, or persons or equipment in the vicinity of the truck could then be damaged.
  • a very serious scenario would be if a person steps out in front of a truck which is driven with a non-secured load. In this case the driver instinctively brakes the truck to avoid running over the person, however due to the sudden retardation the unsecured load may slide of the forks and could hit the person in front of the truck.
  • GB2366784 A1 showing a cargo handling vehicle in which lowering of the forks is prevented if the tilting angle of the forks exceeds a predetermined value.
  • a similar cargo handling vehicle is shown in JP 2002-029694 A
  • GB 2095861 A1 shows a fork lift truck comprising a control device, a sensor unit and a lift cylinder and a mast tilt cylinder that are actuated according to signals from the control device
  • the invention relates to an industrial fork lift truck comprising a frame extending into two forward support legs and supporting a lifting mast comprising loading forks and means for adjusting the height of the forks on the mast and means arranged between the forks and the mast for adjusting the angular position of the forks and an arrangement for controlling the position of the forks of the truck, wherein the arrangement comprise sensors for detecting the height and the angular position of the forks on the mast, characterized in a shelf selector, a storage in which shelf height positions are stored and a cycle selector for selecting a lifting or lowering cycle and a control unit, selection of a shelf and selection of a lifting or lowering cycle configures the control unit with pre-defined fork angular positions and pre-defined fork height positions, wherein the control unit is arranged to control the adjustment of the height position of the forks on the mast to the pre-defined height positions corresponding to the selected shelf based on detected fork height positions; and to control the adjustment of the angular position of
  • the arrangement provides for quick and accurate adjustment of the height position of the forks on the mast of the truck. Thereby is the need for manual control during adjustment of the height of forks minimized which in turn substantially shortens the lifting procedure and provides a secure operation.
  • the control unit may have one or more loops, each loop provides for separate control of parameters such as height or angular position of the forks.
  • a separate loop may be arranged to control the horizontal position of the forks.
  • the arrangement may comprise an on/off-switch connected to the control unit, arranged to be manually actuated.
  • the on/off-switch enables the driver of the truck to manually influence the lifting or lowering operation
  • the invention also relates to a method for controlling the position of the forks of an industrial truck wherein a shelf position and a lifting or lowering cycle is selected; wherein the control unit is configured with one or several pre-defined fork height positions corresponding to shelf position and is configured with one or several pre-defined fork angular positions corresponding to the selected cycle; wherein the control unit controls the adjustment of the position of the forks to the pre-defined fork height positions corresponding to the selected shelf position based on detected fork height positions; and controls the adjustment of the angular position of the forks to the pre-defined angular positions based on detected fork angular positions.
  • Two or more loops may be configured in the control unit; wherein the first loop is configured with one or several pre-defined fork height positions; wherein the second loop is configured with one or several pre-defined fork angular positions. Thereby adjustment of separate parameters, such as fork height and angular position may be achieved.
  • the fork height position and the fork angular position are adjusted alternately to pre-defined positions, starting with the fork height position. Thereby is achieved a secure lifting or lowering operation.
  • the fork height position and the fork angular position are adjusted alternately to pre-defined positions, starting with the fork angular position.
  • the fork height position and the fork angular position are simultaneously adjusted to pre-defined positions. Thereby is achieved a fast and secure lifting or lowering operation
  • Each loop may be configured to stop after having adjusted the position of the forks to a pre-defined position and to await a command before starting to adjust the position of the forks to a next pre-defined position. Thereby is achieved that the forks are in a correct position in each step of the lifting or lowering cycle.
  • the command is a signal from the control unit.
  • An automated lifting or lowering procedure may thereby be achived.
  • the command is a signal from a manually actuated on/off-switch.

  • the horizontal movement of the mast is accomplished in that the mast is supported on a carriage 11, as described in figure 2 , which is journalled in each of the support legs.
  • a hydraulic piston 12, powered by the hydraulic motor, moves the carriage 11 back and fort on the support legs 3.
  • Sensors, such as lasers, bearings or ultrasonic sensors could be arranged in the truck to determine the mast horizontal position.
  • the lifting mast 8 further comprises a loading fork 13.
  • the loading fork 13 is journalled in each of the inner uprights 9.1 and 9.2.

  • the driver's interface 15 also comprises a cycle selector, that enables the driver to select between a lifting cycle and a lowering cycle.
  • the cycle selector is normally a keyboard or a touch screen, which could be integrated in the shelf selector.
  • lifting cycle is meant a lifting of a load from the floor to a shelf and then a lowering of the forks.
